CalTech (Texas)

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CalTech (Texas) (San Angelo, TX).

Interview

I was given the opportunity to interview for this company. I went through 3 rounds of interviews from my understanding I think there is a total of 4 interviews altogether. What I like most of the whole interview process was from just the beginning stages all the way to the end.

Stage 1: I spoke with two CalTech employees, each employee gave me a quiet bit of info that I just never knew about CalTech other than it just being an IT company. What I learned is that the company truly believes in growing its employees to their highest potential and which gave me hope that there was more to life than what I just currently doing. I recommend everyone that applies to this company to meet with a recruiter or ask employees to learn the knowledge.

Stage 2 (Applying): The application process was pretty simple, there was nothing difficult to it just a something sweet and short to the point. That truly takes the anxiety off from just applying to a job in general. I feel like some applications for other business have almost 90 question step process on top of you already having to input your experience, references, etc.

Stage 3 (first interview): My first interview was a little bit of a doozy for me just because I was already nervous and this interview was mainly getting to talk about myself a little bit, why I chose CalTech etc. I wasn't sure if there was a way to rerecorded one of my responses as I had accidentally wrapped my laptop charger cord around my ankle. I completely wish I would have been able to redo that response. But other than that it was a very neat experience and I like how you get to talk about yourself basically to yourself. It kind of reminds you of all your accomplishments and goals.

Stage 4(2nd Interview): I got to have face to a face video interview with someone from HR who truly has an amazing personality. She made me feel comfortable and it felt like a conversation more than anything. Nothing grilling.

Stage 5( 3rd Interview): I feel like I should have study more about the company because the company truly strives itself on its mission and values. I agree that all companies should do.

In conclusion, even though I was not selected I feel like the interview process was very thorough. You learn about the benefits and pay structure and all the great things the company has to offer.
